Samoan Affairs.

San FRANCISCO, November 26.-NeWs
from Samoa, under date of October 49,
received by steamer City of Picking, last
night, shows that affairs were still in
an unsettled condition there. The
German consul had refused to recog-
nizs the municipality OF Apla which
had hitherto been administered by for
eign consuls. 1t was stated that the
Germrn naval commander had de-
manded a large sum from King Tam
assoc for the assistance which Germans
recently afforded him against King
Malletoa. This new move of the Ger
mans to make King Tamassee pay for
being used to further their interest, it is
claimed, is only an excuse to depose
ramassee in the same manner as NAL
letoa before proclaiming absolute Ger
man sovereignty over the Samoan
Islands.

The ApDOrtiOnment,

After waiting since the census Of 1880
was taken to reappOrtiOn the state, the
legislature has succeeded In making the
representative and congressional appor-
tl0nment but has failed to rearrange the
senatorial districts according to their
changed population (; and might as well
have left the congressional apportionment
b % i5 was, for all the respect that has
been paid to the altered population in fix
ing the new districts. 1t was supposed
that the congressional as well as the
senatorial apportionment would be held to
await the new census; and after the duty
had been SO long neglected 1t would
have been just as we'll TO have waited
. while longer. The new apportionment
while unfair to the Democratic vote, is
hardly worse than the present one, which
was made as unfair as possible. Four years
hence the condit ons will have changed very
much, and radical alteration of the appor-
tionment will be required, and We are quite
hopeful that the responsibility of making
tt will fall upon the Democratic parry.
The Republican rottenness aud notorious
subjectiOn to moneyed influences, as ex.
hibited by this legislature, will surely
triDg about its downfall before four Years
have come and gone.

railroads, testified that Thomas A. Scott
